Sounds more like an accusation than a response.  What I choose to do
with a general-purpose tool (your argument) is to use it for
education.  Show me how your argument invalidates my objectives.

As for your issue with suppliers of computing resources, there are
political dynamics in place around me that render the question moot.
Plus, I don't want to get involved in conventional teaching (C++,
Java, Windows, etc.) and that closes quite a few doors.
